Fenton and some of his neighbors blame hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," a common technique used in drilling new oil and gas wells, for fouling their well water and possibly causing health problems among residents. The U.S. Geological Survey plans to release results of the latest testing in the Pavillion area, where some homeowners and the EPA suspect hydraulic fracking has tainted the groundwater.
